Show BOARD DECREES 15RULESFOR SCHOOL CLUBS One Social Meeting Yearly Will Be Limit At Ogden High OGDEN HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Constance Ford, Editor. Iron-bound restrictions were laid down today by the Board of Education concerning regulations to which Ogden High school clubs must conform if they are to remain active. Adding to the flurry caused recently when the board ordered the traditional military sponsors to be relieved of their positions as unnecessary to the curriculum, the new system begins another era in high school government. IN HIGH SCHOOL The 15 requirements stated by the board specify that all meetings of club® will be held in the high school unless arranged with advisers and principal. Meetings and programs must be approved by the club advisers and scheduled in the high school office, according to the new ruling. Bearing down on purely social{ clubs, the board has decreed that j only one social meeting may be I held each semester. Club fees, dues and assessments will no longer cost more than $4 a year. WORTHWHILE ACTIVITY Bringing out the importance Of educational activities the rules are incorporated to read that the purpose of clubs in Ogden High school will be based on 'some worthwhile j educational activity.' Membership can be limited only for convenience to study groups. The hazing system was attacked by the board in regulations stating pledging an initiation will henceforth be a thing of the past. Club pins, uniforms which identify students with' a group have been put into educational mothballs by the board. FIRE PROTECTION City firemen, under a new set up are equipped to be at the scene of a fire at Ogden High school in less \ than four minutes. Under the system fire controls, sta- j tioned in various parts of the building, are controlled directly from the j office of the high school. An auto- j matic electro-disk, which is attached j on every one of the twelve controls, \ rings an electric buzzer in the of- j fice. 1 Each alarm has a separate connection, which when rung will tell exactly in what part of the building the fire has broken out. Prom the office the main connecting line leads directly to the city fire sta-: tion through a private line. —George Jensen COUNCIL OF NINE Principal A. M.
